Limited Lifetime Costs of Inbreeding in a Large Wild Population of Superb Fairy‐Wrens

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding depression can have major negative effects on both individual fitness and population performance. The impact of inbreeding depression in wild populations remains poorly understood, and our knowledge is primarily based on estimations in insular populations with limited dispersal, which has been predicted to enhance the capacity for ...

Advancing Marine Mammal Conservation Through Omics Tools and Integration of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation of biodiversity is a global priority as human‐driven pressures continue to intensify and alter ecosystems worldwide. Marine mammals are vulnerable species, facing numerous escalating anthropogenic threats. Here, we evaluate how, as omics technologies become more accessible and affordable, established and emerging tools are ...

Genomic Vulnerability of a Threatened Possum in a Biodiversity and Climate Change Hotspot

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial variation in the magnitude and pace of climate change impacts means some species will be more affected than others. This includes those occurring within global biodiversity hotspots, regions with exceptional concentrations of endemic species that have often been shaped by long‐term climatic stability.

When Clades Collide: Genomic Admixture in Blacklegged Ticks (Ixodes scapularis) From the Great Plains

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACTIxodes scapularis ticks transmit a number of pathogens important to human health, including Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative agent of Lyme disease. While I. scapularis is found across the Eastern United States, Lyme disease transmission is largely limited to the Northeast and Upper Midwest and is nearly absent in the South ...

Bottlenecked but Booming: Strong Inbreeding in a Highly Invasive Freshwater Mussel

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The ‘genetic paradox of invasions’ refers to successful invasive populations originating from low founder numbers. Theory predicts that such invaders should exhibit reduced genetic diversity and increased inbreeding, which should restrict their evolutionary potential and often lead to inbreeding depression.
